Account Dimension
Businessflo knows a fixed list of possible dimensions: cost centre, cost area, profit centre, profit area, department, project, business area, site, customer, vendor, item, employee and more. A dimension can be used on accounts only after it is added here. The record names the dimension and the lookup its values are picked from.
Every field in plain words
| Field | What it means | What to put |
|---|---|---|
| Account Dimension | Which of the system's dimensions | Required. Picked from the delivered list |
| Name | Its name on screens | Required |
| Help Object | The lookup that offers its values | Usually the dimension's own list |
| Block | Stop offering it |
The dimension "affiliate" is added by itself when a ledger gets a Balancing Financial Dimension on Ledger Setup.
